There will be modified Canada Day celebrations event in Nakusp this year after all, according to a statement by the Society for Nakusp Community Events.
While the event had previously been up in the air due to the COVID-19 crisis, the easing of health restrictions by the provincial health officer will help make the event a reality.
Some details of this year’s event include having designated spots for people who live outside the community to watch the parade, prohibiting candy from being thrown along the route and not allowing people to walk along the route due to its lengthy distance this year.
Nakusp residents are encouraged to decorate their houses and watch the parade from home this year, according to the society.
You will be required to check in at the Nakusp Arena at 10 a.m. on July 1 if you have a float in the parade. The parade will start at 11 a.m. sharp.
This year’s celebration will honour the Nakusp graduates of 2020 and the Nakusp and District Volunteer Fire Department, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary.
The parade route will be posted on the society’s Facebook page shortly.
The society has helped organize the last three Canada Day celebration in Nakusp.
